Now that Japan self defense force and Canadian Military signed a Military pact. Do you think they will allow use Attack Helicopter to Canada what about an AH1 or AH64DJP

Going back on track. Interesting article about The Ansbach Trials:  http://jgmjgm516.blogspot.com/2012/07/why-canada-doesnt-have-attack.html Good info in this book as well: U.S. Armed Forces Arsenal: A Guide To Modern Combat Hardware Disclaimer: I am not the author nor editor nor commercial...

Did not know the rules. Learned the hard way...It was a bad joke

Or Cobras?

You are right, both sides of the aisle has mismanaged purchasing process, what leads me to think that either is an endemic or a systemic issue. What is the difference between the effective acquisition (Orca, Kingston, Frigates, etc) and now?

Cool ship. 6 functions in one ship...What do you think?

Sharing a link from http://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/guest-column-liberals-must-change-course-on-sinking-approach-to-shipbuilding The journalist thinks, as I am, that we shall acquire Obelix. I would add MRNSV (pic in next reply). Focus our CAD in Coast Guard to protect against future...

Imagine one of this...with the Red Maple on it

Notice the design differences between aft and forward RAS bridge? Is it because one of them came from Protecteur Ships and the other is brand new?

Canadian Army needs both for different reasons MLRS to improve Artillery Capability and deterrent if our Northern Arctic neighbor became creative. Apache for protecting Infantry and overseas deployment...among other useful things.

Apache is a formidable infantry support asset (Do not forget during the first Gulf war a complete Iraqi Battalion surrender to a couple of Apaches. Source: Desert Storm Land Power Osprey Coalition Iraqi Armies Gulf War by Tim Ripley and they were design to combat Varsovia Pact armored tanks in...

You are absolutely right...dreaming still is free  :orly: FYI: 50 New AH64E Apache cost US$ 2.3 Billion (US$ 56 Million a piece).  Re manufacture to AH64E will cost US$ 12.9 Million a piece (US$ 488 Million per 38 Apaches). BATUS for UK is priceless...hope a GoC representative notice this...

UK recently mothballed sixteen (16) WAH -64 Apache.    http://defense-update.com/20150321_british_apache.html We might make an agreement with UK. Bring those WAH-64 (blade folding capability) and upgraded them to AH-64E. They will be stationed in BATUS, some with skis...

On the previous reply I have attached a pic comparison between Original Asterix Design and as - built ship. The original one appears more modern Aegis like ship

Resolve Class AOR Cons: One Main Engine, One Main Shaft, Old Hull, No Phalanx*, Civilian Crew, No Compartmentalized??? Pros: Interim measure, Lower Cost, 4 RAS, Nice shape (at least original Asterix Design) Berlin Class Modified (V 3.0) Cons: COST, Old design, 2 RAS, Not so nice shape  ;D...

I would like to see 2 RAS instead of 1 on JSS...remember the original design by BMT?  Also the TAG price for each JSS ship is a little much, don't you think?  The "original" Asterix shape was a nice ship to the eye

The one performed by Sikorsky CH-148 Cyclone and the Containerized version of  the deep sea Thales MMS mechanical mine sweeping system, the route survey system or the Sutec remotely operated vehicle (ROV) mine inspection system.

Agreed. That is what the current agreement with Federal Fleet Services was done...Can we, in the future after Lease is over and ship transfer to RCN, be able to cover all crew with own Navy personnel? Keeping Knowledge and ensuring long term Skills

Is not the idea to replace Kingston by AOPS hence the Container deck capability to allow flexibility for Antisubmarine warfare among others?

I tried to support my comments regarding AOR, specifically Asterix and Obelix with Facts taking from other sources. Sadly they belonged to another source and after posted they were correctly deleted by Admin I agree with you that making an objective capability comparison between Asterix Vs JSS...
